Tax Rates And Schools In Clermont County

The average school rate is 11.62 mills, with operating school levies at 8.99 mills and state aid at 2.65 mills, totaling 6.60 mills not half the total rate. Local voters set bond and extra levies for new buildings or state aid eligibility, and most districts have not raised beyond 6.60 mills by outside authorities. The county would lose substantial state aid if rates dropped.
